Return to Forever was a great jazz fusion band from the early '70s formed by jazz pianist/keyboardist and Miles Davis Band alum, Chick Corea. Captain Senor Mouse, is often confused as an Al Di Meola original, but much to popular belief he had no part in the writing of this particular song. However, Al Di Meola did join the band in time to tour in support of the album Senor Mouse was released on [Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy]. Here is Umphrey's take on the jazz fusion masterpiece, Captain Senor Mouse. This crisp recording is sourced from the Live Music Archive and was recorded by Kevin Browning.
